Chapter Twenty-Four: I Have a Backer
"What are the rules and taboos for the beggars in Jinling City?"
Jia Yun sat on the chair, and saw that everyone around him was also standing beside him in groups of three or five, not daring to speak, and was silent in a low voice, but his eyes also fell on him, and immediately, he also looked at Zhang Xiaolong, and he didn't have a half-unruly look, and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Xiaolong stood beside him tremblingly, this time when he heard Jia Yun's inquiry, he reacted quite quickly, and he didn't make a bitter face, but shook his head and said: "Even if you are a beggar in this Jinling City, there are rules, not just anyone can be a beggar." ”
"Most of the beggars in Jinling City are divided into different categories, each with their own territory and backers, if they go to other people's territory at will, they will be driven and beaten, and if it is serious, they will be beaten to death after being discovered, and dragged to the Jinling River to feed the fish."
"I don't know how many beggars' bones are buried in this Jinling River."
"Because of the humble status of the beggar, and no one reports to the official, the government is looking to solve the case, and there is always no oil and water to fish, so this has gradually become a tacit understanding between the government and us, as long as we don't make trouble in the city and don't make things bigger, then it's okay."
"The same is true of the old rules."
Zhang Xiaolong said, and secretly glanced at Jia Yun who was sitting in the first place, he was really a real hero, a neat knife, without any drag, he was indeed a real murderer.
Even though Jia Yun's face looks quite delicate, and she also has the elegant atmosphere of a Confucian scholar when she speaks, what she does is not ambiguous at all, but has the demeanor of a general.
Zhang Xiaolong is also a scholar, so he naturally heard the story about Shenjing Jiafu and the two princes.
Even in this small Jinling Mansion, the Jia family is also a top wealthy family, and almost no one dares to provoke it.
For a small person like Zhang Xiaolong, don't say that it is Jia Yun's collateral bloodline, even if he is a slave in Jia's mansion, the status of the rivers and lakes is higher than that of these lowly grass people.
As the saying goes, a big dog depends on the owner.
There are a lot of bullying slaves, foxes and fake tigers.
Seeing Jia Yun's gloomy face, it seemed that he didn't like Zhang Xiaolong's procrastination, and immediately, Zhang Xiaolong hurriedly continued to speak: "This is West Street, all beggars are under our management, and beggars from outside will be driven away and beaten violently unless they accept their names." The yamen steward, who is responsible for managing the West Street, needs to pay some silver every year, and the Watermelon Gang, who runs a gambling house and a brothel in the West Street, is responsible for collecting protection money. ”
"The stupid worm that was killed by the second master before was the little leader of the Watermelon Gang."
"And the pattern of the other streets is similar."
Hearing this, Jia Yun nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Xiaolong, and said, "Who is the backstage of this Watermelon Gang?" ”
But if you walk in the rivers and lakes, in the living world, there is no backer and strength, and if you want to be the king and hegemon, you have a status in the rivers and lakes, which is almost impossible with all difficulties.
Therefore, Jia Yun expected that there must be backers and characters behind the watermelon gang, but he didn't know who this backer was.
"The previous backer of the Watermelon Gang was the eldest lord of Jinling Mansion, but a few days ago, this eldest lord was arrested and charged with corruption, and now the eldest lord of Jinling Mansion has not yet been decided, and the imperial court has not appointed someone to come over on an errand, so it is still vacant."
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong was also talking to Jia Yun about the situation of the entire Jinling Mansion, talking carefully.
"I see? But there is such a thing! ”
When Jia Yun heard this, she couldn't help but think of Jia Yucun, if it was not bad as expected, this person would soon take office and come to Jinling Mansion to be the prefect of Jinling.
This is also the fundamental reason why Jia Yun has to return to Jinling Mansion to participate in the imperial examination.
Who does Jia Yucun rely on to take the position? Jia Zheng, as well as the network behind Jia Zheng, the power and majesty of the entire Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu, this is the one who came to power.
In order not to offend the Xue family among the four major families, Jia Yucun was able to determine Xue Pan's sins, let Xue Pan go free, and try the gourd case, it can be seen that this person is also a real villain who can know the world's sophistication, gradually become sleek, and be able to judge the situation.
Real villains also have the usefulness of real villains.
If it is in the Shenjing imperial examination, there are too many dignitaries and dignitaries, and it is inevitable that there will be no room and room for manipulation.
And in Jinling Mansion, which is far away from Shenjing, he met Jia Yucun again, and there is a lot of room and space for manipulation.
Could it be that Jia Yun really didn't know that the difficulty of the imperial examination in Jingzhao Mansion was lower than that in Jinling Mansion?
Jia Yun actually knew it all along.
He not only knew that the imperial examination in the Jiangnan area was a hellish difficulty, but also knew that there were many talented and beautiful people in the Jiangnan area.
However, Jia Yun relies on the identity of the side bloodline of Rongguo Mansion Jia Mansion, so he can make a fuss in Jinling Mansion.
No matter how well it is written, there is no one on it to nod and help, and it is difficult to get ahead.
No one in Shenjing will give Jia Yun face, and they can't look down on the descendants of this Jiafu sideline, but when they arrived in Jinling Mansion, with the help of Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, who covered the sky with one hand, couldn't they still be lifted?
There is a big difference between someone in the DPRK and no one in the DPRK.
Jia Yun calculated that Jia Yu Village would come to this place, and came over one step in advance, planning to bring the majesty of Jia Yu Village and Jia Mansion to operate the imperial examination and silver affairs.
Jinling Mansion is rich!
Since ancient times, Jinling has been prosperous, and there are more rich people, and a little oil and water is enough for Jia Yun to draw many times.
But Jia Yun is alone, without background and backing, how can he operate?
However, the power of Jinling Jiafu and Jia Yu Village, Jia Yun may not be able to rely on one or two.
The fox is pretending to be a tiger, borrowing strength to fight and bullying others, this is what Jia Yun will do next.
Jia Yun's own talent is excellent, coupled with Jia Yucun's double insurance as the prefect of Jinling, wouldn't it be easy to operate a person?
Jinling Mansion Imperial Examination, is it really hellish difficulty?
Jia Yun doesn't think so.
As long as the hands and eyes are up to the sky, there are people on it, and their own skills are hard enough, how can they not get ahead and get promoted?
Jia Yun pondered for a long time, thought about the future pattern, looked at Zhang Xiaolong, and said indifferently: "You go and help me make an appointment to meet the people of the Watermelon Gang, just say that Shenjing Jiafu, Rongguo Mansion and Rongguo Gong, the second master of the Yun family, plans to invite your family leader to Tianxianglou to have a drink." ”
Jia Yun deliberately blurred the identity of his side branch here, and deliberately introduced it to Rong Guogong.
thereby creating more favorable conditions for negotiation for themselves.
